[nagdu] Church update from Colorado Springs

[Lyn Gwizdak]

Bertha,
Wonderful for you!!!  Wow, a church in your own denomination, one that is 
welcoming to you and Godiva, and who will even pick you up for services! 
Can't get better than that!

Although I am not a believer myself, I do understand the role church plays 
in people's lives and I am truely happy for you and sorry you had to go 
through - well - hell to find this church.

Cheers,

Lyn and Landon
